Solved.
I downloaded the linux drivers from ATI website. The rpm they have
didn't work since it's missing a dependency that yum doesn't install.
So I downloaded the 40 mb installer and ran it.
I did the following in the terminal.
aticonfig --help ( This explains how to setup your driver for a tv )
aticonfig --initial
aticonfig --enable-monitor=tv --tv-standard-type=VIDEO
and that's it. Start kdm from the console.
Selinux needs to be disabled or a new policy created that allows the
driver to function. Otherwise X doesn't start.

Thanks for the report. I recently picked up a 16MB video card at a
used shop (about $3 if I recall) and it has video in/out. I now enjoy
the increased screen resolution (1280x1024 @ 32bits) and after this
exchange will find a cord to test the video out. We have a new
camcorder and so the video in may prove useful (USB already is
useful).
SELinux is certainly on my reading/learning list! Here is a starter I
found on the web:

Enjoy!
